Appointment CC-cream

The foundation has long been firmly established in the life of modern women. Several years ago, an improved version of the foundation - BB-cream. He cares for the skin and adapts to the natural shade of the face. It seems to be a good set of qualities, but scientists do not stop. And here on the shelves of shops we see already CC-cream. What are its features?

All the advantages of BB-funds inherited passed to the CC-creams. They also care for the skin, because they contain a large number of care components. Also, new generation products received additional benefits. For example, they protect well from the sun.

What does the abbreviation of a new cosmetic product mean? The first C - "color", the second - "control" or "correction". Literally this combination can be translated as color control or color correction.

CC-cream can be used in various ways, depending on the goals you are pursuing.

• Self tonal tool. You have the opportunity to use a new product instead of the tonal framework, which was used earlier. But unlike normal tone, your face will be provided with invisible correction and care. You can apply the tool to the entire face, then it will look perfect, without the effect of a mask. If you want to use the tool topically, you can easily apply it only to those areas that require additional attention. Thus, it is possible to disguise small redness, even the tone of the chin, the T-zone of the face. Due to the ability of the cream to adapt to the skin tone, such local application will not have clear boundaries, and stand out on the face.
• To help tonal basis. You can use CC as a supplement to your favorite foundation. If the product has the perfect color for you, but its coating is not suitable for your skin, mix it with a small amount of CC cream. So you are unlikely to change the color of the tone, but the coating of cosmetics will improve and become more pleasant.
• Primer. A new product can independently serve as a primer, because it has a lighter, more fluid texture than BB cream, and even more so than a tonal basis. If it is too hot outside, or the epidermis has too much fat, the best way to use the cream in a mixture with a primer. In this case, the make-up will be more resistant, you will receive UV protection and improve the primer used normally.
• Paired with moisturizer. If the skin does not suit you, there are imperfections that you really want to hide, shift the CC cream with a moisturizer or sunscreen. This will help create the perfect shade of skin, hide minor imperfections, at the same time not make the face heavier with cosmetics and get SPF protection. You moisten the epidermis and provide it with extra care.
• Anti-aging effect. In some situations, skin needs caring products with anti-aging effect. To enhance the effect, of course, I want to use them in daily makeup. Just use CC-products in this case, it will perfectly cope with the functions assigned to it.

Such use cases are possible due to the fact that CC-cream is not just decorative cosmetics, but also a complete caring thing. It has a complex effect on the skin and cares for it carefully, creating an ideal appearance.

In the middle of the last century, a prototype of CC-cream was developed by German scientists.It was used as a regenerating and healing emulsion after peels. In South Korea, this drug turned out to be highly demanded, for some time it was used only in the professional sphere. But soon he came out on the mass market, becoming the basis for the production of BB, and after that CC-creams. After Asia, the boom swept the United States and soon came to European countries.

Most countries after South Korea began to produce CC-creams.

Traditionally, Korean cream remains one of the best options with a relatively low price. The rich experience of oriental medicine makes it possible to fully utilize the beneficial properties of plant extracts. South Korean scientists present all their latest developments on the market, which cannot but please the lovers of innovation. Most often, Korean cosmetics have a high sun protection factor, because light skin is extremely valued in the east.

The market is also gaining popularity Thai cosmetics. Thailand, like South Korea, has a rich history of using natural plant ingredients. Products of this country, unlike analogs, are famous for their excellent ability to adapt to the natural skin color.

Of course, few manufacturers can compete with the gurus of USA, France, Germany. However, such cosmetics are not suitable for everyone in the price segment.

Russian and Belarusian CC Cream not so long ago appeared on the market, but worthy of attention. Due to the natural composition and proximity to us, as to the final customers, they can compete with oriental counterparts. They contain components close to us, and practically do not whiten the skin.

Unlike products of past generations, CC-creams are not available for different skin types: for oily or dry. Most manufacturers do not share them by this type, releasing one option for all. It is best to pay attention to the composition and choose the ingredients according to personal needs.

For dry skin, color control creams are also great. For extra care, pay attention to formulations containing various moisturizing extracts. It can be lactic acid, berry and herbal infusions.

If the epidermis is still too dry, try using the product in combination with the usual moisturizer.

If you are a happy owner of normal skin, you can choose CC-cream without analyzing the composition. Focus on the shade, you can also try the budget option of cosmetics.

For problem skin, the snag may be that the cream does not cover the disadvantages as well as we would like. Try using it with a tonal base, either as a primer or by mixing them together.

Decide which function is most important to you, and depending on this, look for cosmetics. Perhaps this is sun protection, price category, composition, packaging. And then you can decide on a shade.

For women who are happy owners of the normal type of the epidermis, there is nothing easier to use CC-cream. It can be applied immediately to the face after using cleansers. When bold or mixed type, it will be an excellent base for the tonal product. And in the case of dry or peeling face - try to mix this cream with moisturizing cosmetics.

Professionals believe that the CC product is best applied with the fingers, without using a brush or sponge. Due to the fact that the hands give the cream warmly, it is distributed evenly, without strains. The remaining excess drops, just clean with a napkin.

Often there are problems with the combination of various creamy products with CC-products. It behaves unpredictably when it is laid on a base, and the corrector does not take on itself well. If you want to close the serious flaws, work better with the already familiar set of tools from the primer, tone, corrector, and so on.

In order to wash off the product, it is better to use a makeup remover (hydrophilic) or a similar care product. If for some reason there is no such possibility, at least just a foam for washing.

Customer reviews, of course, vary depending on the brands, prices, requests and subjective opinion. There are some points that look like:

• After applying to the skin, SS-cream looks like a layer of soft, creamy powder., while BB on a regular cream.
